Psalm 56:7-9
Evangelical Heritage Version

David’s Trust

7 Because of their wickedness do not let them escape.[a]
In your anger bring down the peoples, O God.
8 You keep a record of my tossing and turning.[b]
Keep my tears in your bottle.
Aren’t they all listed in your book?
9 Then my enemies will turn back on the day when I call.
This is how I will know that God is for me.
